Book Review: Far From You by Tess Sharpe

Haiku Review:
Oh, dear. Another
Very Sad Book. If you want
to cry- read this one.

Sophie's been hurt before, really hurt, to the point where she'll never quite be the same. But after that accident, she had her best friend Mina to lean on.

This time, this accident, isn't really an accident. And Mina doesn't make it out alive. Sophie has to learn to put her life back together, to get over her addiction, to find a way to get Mina's brother to talk to her. And most of all to find out who killed Mina.

It's emotional and very realistic. And it's one of those books that's hard to talk about without giving away its secrets. If you're looking for some mystery and darkness wrapped up in some romance, I would highly recommend Far From You. It also has one of the few bisexual characters that I've found in YA literature.

Highly recommended for anyone in high school who doesn't mind books that are a little dark.
